Chu Li rushed to the city gate as quickly as possible.
The East City Gate was wide open, and many people were going in and out to celebrate the festival. Naturally, the number of soldiers was doubled to guard safety.
She ran over:
"Miss Qin from the General's Mansion has been captured by criminals. Quickly close the city gates and conduct a thorough search of the city. No mistakes can be made!"
Many people turned their heads and looked over in confusion.
Miss Qin was arrested?
Who is this person?
As a gift from Heaven, the people inside and outside the city are allowed to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival. If the city gates are closed at this time, how can the people living outside the city return home?
The soldier on duty held his sword and frowned:
"Who are you?"
"I am the current ninth prince, Chu Li."
Several soldiers looked at each other.
With their identities, they were just ordinary soldiers guarding the city gates and patrolling the streets at night. How could they be qualified to meet the noble Ninth Prince? Now, this person said that he was the Ninth Prince. How could they confirm whether it was true or not?
Chu Li said, "General Qin will be here soon. Close the city gates quickly and notify everyone."
“Wait a minute!”
The soldier on duty waved his hands and said, "It's a festive night. If we rashly close the city gates, it will surely cause unrest among the people. We can't close them!"
Chu Li stepped forward, "Listen to me!"
"Without orders from above, we cannot close the city gates without permission."
"Time is life, there is no time to waste!"
"We can't listen to you!"
"You guys..." Chu Li went out of the palace tonight without his badge. He tried to say several words, but these people were unmoved. Seeing that Qin Muyu had not arrived yet, he saw several sneaky figures running out of the city.
It’s the group of people who took Qin Muxue away!
She raised her body and grabbed the warhorse next to her.
The soldiers immediately surrounded him and asked, "What are you doing?"
"If Young General Qin arrives, tell him that I'm leaving the city and heading west - go!" He pulled the reins, turned the horse's head, and immediately galloped out of the city.
The soldiers hurriedly chased:
"This is our horse!"
"How dare you rob me!"
"stop!"
"What happened?" a warm and steady voice came.
The night duty soldier turned around hastily, "That man pretended to be the Ninth Prince, saying that the general's daughter was captured by criminals, and also forcibly robbed horses. It's simply... Commander Xiao? Meet Commander Xiao!"
-
Outside the city.
The full moon shines brightly, illuminating the official road in the mountains. The sound of horses' hooves breaks the night, and they are running extremely fast.
In front, seven or eight people grabbed Qin Muxue and ran while saying coldly:
"How could someone catch up with us?"
"If we keep going like this, the soldiers will be attracted sooner or later!"
"Try to lure him away."
The few of them were very smart. They pulled off the jewelry on Qin Muchue's head and threw it on the official road, and then they quickly hid in the grove nearby.
The horses ran away along the official road.
Tap tap tap!
The few of them watched the horse running away, and then they secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "Let's go and meet up with the boss."
They carried Qin Muxue and whispered:
“That’s a lot of money.”
"The employer said that the person they wanted to catch was a ruthless and vicious person with an irreconcilable blood feud, but I didn't expect that it turned out to be a delicate little girl."
"Wang Heng, you don't know this, right? The more beautiful a woman is, the more vicious she is."
Amidst the loud laughter and chatter, the last person fell down silently.
After walking a few meters, another one fell down.
Another one fell...
"Wang Heng, isn't that right?" the man carrying Qin Muxue laughed roughly.
"Wang Heng?"
"Wang Heng?"
How come all of you fell silent while talking?
When he looked back, he saw a nobleman in gorgeous clothes grabbing a man by the neck and knocking him to the ground. Of his seven brothers, he was the only one left.
"you!"
Wasn’t he on horseback, being led away by them?
How could he catch up so quietly?
Chu Li grabbed her wrist and kicked her, "You even dare to kidnap people from the General's Mansion. I want to see how brave you are!"
"ah--"
The man felt a pain in his abdomen and fell to the ground.
He threw Qin Muxue aside, took off the big knife from his waist, and chopped fiercely:
"court death!"
The two fought.
Chu Li was skilled in martial arts, so it was no problem for him to deal with him. After a few moves, he kicked the sword out of his hand. "Who sent you?"
The man rolled several meters away, grabbed Qin Muxue and was about to run, but he felt a pain in his back and it was almost broken by someone stepping on him.
"ah!"
"explain!"
The man screamed in pain like a pig being slaughtered, and suddenly he pulled out a whistling arrow from his sleeve and fired it into the sky.
call out!
It's a flare.
Chu Li wanted to stop him, but it was too late. He kicked him on the temple, knocking him unconscious, and then helped Qin Muxue, who was unconscious from the Chinese medicine, up.
"Muxue, wake up!"
I grabbed her hands and breathed a sigh of relief when I saw that her hands and feet were intact and had no external injuries.
It is not advisable to stay here for long.
He flipped over, carried Qin Muxue on his back, and left quickly.
But she didn't expect that after running only seven or eight meters, she heard several footsteps surrounding her. In the dark forest, a man's hoarse voice came:
"You've come here and hurt so many of my brothers. Do you think you can leave so easily without leaving anything behind?"
More than twenty people approached with sinister looks, carrying large swords.
Chu Li stepped back, staring at them warily. Judging from their attire, they should be bullies.
"Let us go, and I'll give you double the pay."
The leader, the bearded man with a face full of flesh, said gruffly, "Humph, if you speak kindly, I can consider it, but you have hurt so many of my men. Even if you pay me ten times, I will still avenge my brothers."
"Take them down!"
After the cold voice came, more than twenty people gathered around.
Chu Li was carrying Qin Muxue on his back, with no weapons in his hands. His bare hands were no match for the four punches. He struggled to dodge several people, but was kicked to the ground.
Qin Muxue rolled to the side.
I saw a bully waving a big knife and slashing at Qin Muxue fiercely!
Chu Li's eyes sparked, and he immediately pounced on Qin Muxue, hugged him, and kicked the bully's legs, but he just kicked him away, and there were still more than a dozen people besieging him.
The blade has no eyes, and she has nowhere to hide.
Chu Li gritted his teeth and lay tightly on Qin Muxue. At the critical moment, an arrow flew through the air and deflected the blade.
bite--
In the woods, several dark shadows flashed by, and the oppressive feeling they brought sharpened the night.
They were immediately alert:
"who!"
"Anyone else?"
He quickly grabbed Chu Li, put the knife across her neck, and said coldly: "Who are you? If you dare to act rashly, I will kill them both!"
Suddenly, a figure dozens of meters away stood in the woods.
The strange, ghostly speed frightened more than 20 people so much that they all took a small step back.
What a fast speed!
Is this still a human being?
The leader, a man in a dark-black brocade robe, glared at Chu Li who was held up by a sword with his hawk-like black eyes, and said in a calm voice:
"Kill the man at will, and let the woman go."
Chu Li: “?”
Upon hearing this, the bullies immediately grabbed Qin Muxue and put a big knife on her neck. "You can take this man away, but this woman is the one we want."
Chu Di nodded slowly: "Chu Li, why don't you come over here quickly?"
